These are known artists, they received tons of praise (and criticism I'm sure) and reached huge levels of popularity unseen in previous generations of pop music... what more do they deserve? They were on t.v. they were in magazines they got rich and had wild parties... what are you talking about?

So many artists are totally unknown and most will stay that way, I'm guessing. Fame is a fire people throw themselves into, anyway, it's not healthy. Life is art, it's not about recognition.
